I love them They eat all the fruit and flowers of the grass when it falls from the trees. Have two 5 foot mom and Dad with four babies running in my yard. Had one yesterday scared the living shit out of me! Went to pull the life jacket off the hanger and a baby was inside the jacket! Bastard jump on me! Lee

I'm sure they are a PITA for local residents but everytime I go to the Keys they are just kinda entertaining. When we grill out they just beg for food like a dog. We rent a house on a canal in Islamarada and they will actually swim across the canal when Carrie starts cooking on the outside kitchen.

I think they're really cool...
we used to have a big one for a pet; I bought it for my son when he was about 10 years old. But they can get nasty; whenever we walked by the thing he would lash that big long tail out and slap the crap out of you, like a freaking bull whip!

One day I heard my son screaming in his room, so I ran in there and this green iguana has clamped down on the tip of his nose and it won't let go! Scared the crap out of my wife, she thought the thing was going to bite the tip of his nose off! Anyway, everybody calmed down and I managed to get a butter knife in it's mouth and pried the freaking thing off his nose. Needless to say, we took it back to the pet store and left it there....
